MITSUBISHI SHOGUN SPORT2003 · 2.5L DIESEL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history shows a trend of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on December 5, 2025 at 90,619 miles resulted in a failure due to a non-working nearside bulb and products on both headlamps. While the vehicle passed immediately upon retest, the presence of these electrical and lighting issues suggests that the owner only addresses faults once they become significant enough to cause an MOT failure. At 23 years old, the recorded mileage of 90,619 miles is remarkably low, averaging just under 4,000 miles per year. The data indicates a significant drop in usage between November 2023 and November 2024, where the vehicle covered only 257 miles in a full year, followed by 2,708 miles in the subsequent twelve months. This pattern suggests the vehicle sits for long periods, which on a Mitsubishi Shogun Sport of this age often leads to accelerated degradation of rubber components and fluid ingress despite the low mechanical mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and braking system, as the record flags recurring wear in these areas. The 2022 test at 87,172 miles identified pitted and scored rear brake discs, while the 2023 test at 87,914 miles noted play in a track rod end. By 2024, 88,171 miles flagged a worn nearside rear suspension arm bush. These indicators show that age-related perishables are drying out and failing. Given the low mileage and age, the inspector should also specifically check for structural corrosion on the chassis rails and brake lines, as stationary vehicles are prone to deep surface rust that those used regularly might avoid.
